Using collisional activation mass spectrometry the structures of the [M–HX]+• ions (X = OH, NH2) from 5-phenylpentanol-1 (1), 5-phenylpentylamine (2) and 6-phenylhexanol-1 (3) have been established. Contrary to previous results it is shown for the first time that in addition to ionized 1-phenyl-alkenes-1 some other double bound isomers as well as phenylcyclopentane and phenylcyclohexane are formed. The results strongly suggest that the HX eliminations are induced by a selective activation of CH bonds.

Abstract It is shown for the first time that under electron impact conditions an intramolecular oxygen transfer is possible from the thiol ester funtion onto the carbon atom of a second thiol ester group. The reaction sequence is terminated by CO2 elimination and the proposed structure of the resulting product ion is based on 13 carbon labelling experiments and collisional activation mass spectrometry. In addition, some unusual examples of ring contraction processes in the gas phase are reported.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A key step in gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation involves the addition of acetylene (or other alkyne) to σ-type aromatic radicals, with successive additions yielding more complex PAHs. A similar process can happen for N- containing aromatics. In cold diffuse environments, such as the interstellar medium, rates of radical addition may be enhanced when the σ-type radical is charged. This paper investigates the gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of acetylene with nine aromatic distonic σ-type radical cations derived from pyridinium (Pyr), anilinium (Anl) and benzonitrilium (Bzn) ions. Three isomers are studied in each case (radical sites at the ortho, meta and para positions). Using a room temperature ion trap, second-order rate coefficients, product branching ratios and reaction efficiencies are reported. </p> </div> </div> </div>

The energies and heats of ion-molecule reactions have been calculated (MP4/6-31G**//6-31G** or better level) and compared with the experimental values obtained from the heats of formation. Two main types of reactions have been studied: (i) AHn + AHn+• ↔ AHn+1+ + AHn-1• (A = C to F and Si to Cl), (ii) AHn + BHm+• ↔ AHn+1+ + BHm-1• or AHn-1+• + BHm+1+ (A and B = C to F). In contrast to (i), processes of type (ii) permit easy differentiation between the proton transfer and hydrogen atom abstraction mechanisms. A third type of interaction involves reactions with radical anions (A = Li to F); comparison was made with analogous processes with radical cations. A brief comment is made about the influence of the level of computational sophistication on the energies and heats of reaction, as well as on the stabilization energy of a hydrogen bonded intermediate, a structure which is similar to that of the reaction products.
